Dear All,  

We have been made aware by Cambridgeshire LTA of a new tennis league called Super Seniors.

• This league is for those aged 60 years and over (born 1959 or earlier). 
• It comprises teams of 4 players, this can be either a Mens team, Ladies team or Mixed team, although if a mens team is short of 1 player, a lady can make up the 4th player so long as she is no better standard than the other players.
• A player may represent only one club, but they may play for a different club normally.
• Each player plays 3 sets, although they partner a different player in their team for each of these sets.

We attach the full documentation for your information.

We need to enter teams by 5th April 2019, so if you are interested please email either the Ladies or Mens Captain before this date.  We will also discuss this at the upcoming Club AGM on 21st March 2019.

Yours sincerely,

Debbie Dunford (Ladies Captain)      ladiescaptain@roystontennis.co.uk

Doug Coton (Mens Captain)         menscaptain@roystontennis.co.uk
